Speaking of this, it would be interesting to know if are there currently some
project to implement FIGA. A lot of people is drawing ISMAP maps of
WWW zones, and if FIGA is to be released soon by someone, I feel all
the work on ismap drawings is wasted. Client support is more powerful,
as it would let, for example, click on HyperCard-stile "transparent" buttons.
And a drawing is not really need, as button coordinates would be enought
for the client to draw the "virtual maps"
